formation of the soil originally re-

must be broken down and disinteg-

absorb such portions as are soluble in
water or else present in the atmos-
phere, and the plants by decay are re-
duced to humus. Then the real work
of oil-building commences in earnest

Shaw pitched for Portland and the salems
were completely puzzled by him. Only one
OF their men reached first base and he got
there on the only hit they made, and went
to second on the only error the Portlands
made. But as Shaw struck out the next
three men neither the hit nor the error did
them any good.
Turner. who pitched for Salem, was not AZ
effective as usual, being somewhat wild. The
Portlands had no trouble In scoring. They
made five runs In the third on two singles

strike, tumble and wild throw, and one In
the fifth on two doubles. In the sixth

A Remarkable Cat.

When the schooner Sea-Foam, of North
Haven, Me-, Capt.Sanford Cooper, sailed for
the Bay last June, we had on board a NAL
tese tom-cat, who remained with us during
the whole journey Of nearly 14OO miles. He
at once became the pet Of every member Of
the crew. and amid storms and dangers be-
haved himself remarkably.
Tom was an unusually intelligent animal,
and at times seemed endowed with almost
human reason. When the fore-boom would
be swinging and Stating with force which
would knock man overheard, and with a
noise which would have frightened into fits
hundred ordinary cats, he would seem to
be unmindful and perched upon pile Of
boxes or barrels within two inches Of the
swinging g-boom, would remain as uucon
cerned as though at home sleeping In his
favorite rockingham.
Toms greatest passion, however, was TO
watch the men fishing. with hand-lines, and
In whatever portion Of the vessel he might
be sleeping he would arouse himself in an
instant upon hearing the peculiar saving
noise OF line on the rail Of the vessel 1t
would be impossible to land fish on deck
without bis knowledge. He would emerge
from the cabin or forecastle, run TO the one

over for the fish on the hook. IL he saw one
he would manifest the greatest excitement; I;
whereas IL the hooks were bare he would
show his disappointment very manlfestly.
He would eat nothing but fish, and II was
always understood by the crew that the first
one caught belonged to Tom. Indeed, l
have seen the time when we were short OF
rations, living on beans and bread when q
fresh fish would be esteemed a luxury, q tish
caught willingly rendered to Tom, whose
wants were considered first by the fisher
men.
When we returned from the Bay, Toms
master concluded 10 take him home, since
which time he has been greatly missed by
every member of the crew. He was genial,
pleasant ship-mate, and we all wish him a
long life and happy old age. lie is the

MAINE CROPS.
A BountifuI Season and Good Pros
pect for Next Year.

AUGUSTA, Sept. 2l.-The Maine Farmer
will, tomorrow, publishits autumnal review
of the gathered crops in Maine. The hay
crop, which easily holds its place as the lead
ing crop, was larger than for five or six years,
but on account of the poor weather near the
closing, about one-third of it was gathered
in greatly damaged condition.
The potatoe rot has made that important
crop failure, though on the new and rich
lands of Aroostoek county, something of
the crop will be saved. The farmers have
wisely dug their potatoes unusually early
but they seem to be rotting in the cellars.
The apple crop is light and the destructive
maggoJ has put in his work. Both Indian
and sweet corn are better than for years.
Corn factories are springing up everywhere
furnishing profitable market. The same
may be said of butter factories. The
pastures were never more luxuriant and the
fine condition of the stock attests to the
fact. The husbandman has been blessed
with a splendid grain crop. Commercial
fertilizers are increasing in use and also in
creasing in value in the estimation of our
farmers. Everything betokens continued
prosperity for the farmers of Maine.

SETTLED AT LAST.
New York Yachtsmen Find Out What
the Thistle Is Like.

New YORK, Sept. 2l.-Today, Mr.. Hyslop,
measurer of the New York Yacht Club,
made out-board and in-board measurements
of the Thistle, while the water was being
pumped out Of the dock. Her water line.
stem, bowsprit. main boom, gaff, mainmast
and topmast were also measured. From
what could be seen of her bottom, there ap-
peared to be general resemblance to the
Volunteer, with the exception Of the round
ing of her sides. In the Thistle this does
not extend so low, or as far aft as in the big
white slo0p. Then, too, all the talk of her
model being so different from the standard
cutter, is all nonsense. She Is typical cut
ter. When the entire keel was reached it
was seen that there is not straight line in
her hull. Her bow Is made at a sharp angle
to the midship section, and from there to the
stern-post there is also a slight curve in
the bottom of the keel. The principal
shoulders of the yacht are amidships, or
nearly so, and 1t is only in that place that
her model makes any pretence of beam.
Capt. Joe Ellsworth said, after looking
very carefully over the vessel, that there
was not enough boat there to beat the Vol
unteer.
Steward Olsen. Of the New York Yacht
Club, said she was more like big catboat In
build than anything else, and that critics,
while admiring her bow and overhang,
agreed that SHE was not boat TO stand
rough weather, but believe she will be very
fast in light winds.

the laws of Maine.
But it has not been proposed to enter M
on an exhaustive examination Of this ques-
tion here. 1t is rule of procedure that a
Judge presiding at a jury, trial will sustain
the validity of State law, unless it has
been distinctly pronounced invalid by the
law court. The question has been stated TO
illustrate its great Importance and to suggest
a further reason for the ruling l shall give.
In my Judgment the contention of the State
government is supported by every considera-
tion of the public Welfare of our State and
by the most enlightened. moral and Chris
tian sentiment of the nation.
If, therefore, you are fully satisfied that
the defendant used his building. as charged.
for the sale of the intoxicating liquors in
question. although Imported by himself and
sold only in the original packages, it is still
in violation of the laws of Maine, it will he
your duty to render verdict of guilty.
The jury rendered their verdict in three
minutes after retiring. Burns was found
guilty. The case will be carried'by the de-
fendant's counsel to the law court and then
to the Supreme Court of the United States, if
the law court sustails the decision Of the
lower court.
